Great alignment and data but I am always a little surprised when great DSLR data is stretched in exposure and saturation until they lose the benefits of using a DSLR..Beautiful wysiwyg colour .

At the risk of swimming against the tide.....When dng files go straight into DSS and the settings are right, ( don’t ask me , it is trial and error here) the output of stretching and saturation, black point and tweaking should be the minimum .
Thanks Ray,

I'm very new to this & the processing side is still a bit of a mystery to me... Another chap on a Townsville FB page is going to have a crack at the processing for me from the original stacked Fits file..

Cheers

Thanks Ken,

It was one of my attempts at framing Eta Car Neb... my goto was a little off & I'm still getting my head around the motion of the RA/DEC axis when trying to correct to an object I can't physically see but, roughly know where it is... This one I got a bit distracted & the exposure went to 2 min... what I'm very pleased by is that the stars don't appear to show any trailing (unless you zoom in...)

Cheers
